It’s Already September?!
I apologize for not writing more frequently. Our house of men decided a while back that we’re weren’t going to get the Internet and have by God’s grace stuck to our guns. We’ve found our days much more productive and our fellowship sweeter. Anyways, it also means I’m learning to make good use of the times that I do have access, which happens to be late night at the church. So that’s out of the way.
Second, I’ve started back up with the Pastors College classes. For some reason they decided to let me continue in the program, for which I am very thankful. It is so helpful to see God confirm desires through men much older and wiser than myself. The classes thus far have been phenomenal. In our Systematic Theology class we are reading the classic Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin, digesting the material ourselves to teach class, which is unknown to us when we walk into class, and writing a 2 page paper summarizing the reading which is read by the Dean’s 11 and 13 year old sons. We are graded on their understanding of our papers. If we can’t make it clear to them, we won’t be able to make it clear to a congregation. And yes, they are already very intelligent.
Third, I’m leaving for Maui in less than 36 hours. First, I’ll be flying from Indy to Chicago to meet my parents. It’s an 8 hour trip from the Windy City to the Kahului Airport where Jade plans to greet us with leis. She’ll have the week off from her au pair position for the Hawaiian family and we’ll also be spending some time with our cousins who we’ve coordinated the trip with. I will be taken many pictures with my new Canon SD 1100 IS thanks to my generous grandma. Hopefully I can post an album or two on the blog soon after I get back. Honestly, I probably won’t be writing much while I’m on the island so I’ll say “Mahalo” for now!
